SILENCE

Shhh… listen to the absence of sound,

Cheerful birds are chirping
No more,
      they have flown away

rippling waters are gushing
no more,
      it stands still in river beds

still air is humid
no more,
      it hangs chilled and dry

falling leaves are rustling
no more,
      yet trees stand tall, bare naked

playful flurries are swift
no more,
      they linger for first snow

we linger and endure,
pause and wait,
      and listen to the sound of silence….
